I'm noticing that Twitter is starting to have issues.

What's odd though is that should be an easy revert to previous config, not a multi-hour total outage.
What if they hadn't changed their routes in decades because they didn't imagine THEY would be a target?
Also, they could have MPLS chokepoints that got attacked.

Ya, it's odd that they've been down this long. The longer this goes on, the less likely it's just an inside "oops".

If they sporked the BGP routes, the routers that bookface uses to connect to the web would have no idea how to route traffic in and out of their data centers.

Hate to see it happen

You should, because this could be a vector to go after banking and investment sites.

That would be insane considering the size of FB. I know the SO has gone on site a few times when remote access has gone down/been compromised. But to not have anyone who knows how to fix it? That’s nuts right?

This shite is generally practice (if hacked) to hit into larger, more important infrastructure shite.

You do know that EVERYTHING under the Facebook name is down, including WhatsApp and Instagram, right?
Posted on 10/4/21 at 2:50 pm to CGSC Lobotomy
I know that.

This is a DNS fault, just not sure why
If it was DNS causing the issue, wouldn’t the IP work for connecting?

On the brighter side, there are bound to be multiple network engineer jobs opening up at Facebook soon....

Considering the clown show it sounds like, gonna be a hard pass if that was my profession.

It’s only down for Republicans

A technical explanation of what's going on with BookFace right now. I've pasted the text below, but it's cleaned up better if you go to the link:
SANS Internet Storm Center
SANS Internet Storm Center

Here is a quick view of what may have happened.
1 - Does facebook.com resolve?
% host facebook.com
facebook.com has address 31.13.79.35
facebook.com has IPv6 address 2a03:2880:f141:82:face:b00c:0:25de
facebook.com mail is handled by 2560 smtpin.vvv.facebook.com.
% host www.facebook.com
www.facebook.com is an alias for star-mini.c10r.facebook.com.
star-mini.c10r.facebook.com has address 31.13.88.35
star-mini.c10r.facebook.com has IPv6 address 2a03:2880:f138:83:face:b00c:0:25de
Yes! (at least for me, it does). But was that just a cached response? Let's follow the DNS chain.
2. What is the NS record for facebook.com according to the .com zone?
(abbreviated output)
% dig NS facebook.com @h.gtld-servers.net
;; AUTHORITY SECTION: facebook.com. 172800 IN NS a.ns.facebook.com. facebook.com. 172800 IN NS b.ns.facebook.com. facebook.com. 172800 IN NS c.ns.facebook.com. facebook.com. 172800 IN NS d.ns.facebook.com. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: a.ns.facebook.com. 172800 IN A 129.134.30.12 a.ns.facebook.com. 172800 IN AAAA 2a03:2880:f0fc:c:face:b00c:0:35 b.ns.facebook.com. 172800 IN A 129.134.31.12 b.ns.facebook.com. 172800 IN AAAA 2a03:2880:f0fd:c:face:b00c:0:35 c.ns.facebook.com. 172800 IN A 185.89.218.12 c.ns.facebook.com. 172800 IN AAAA 2a03:2880:f1fc:c:face:b00c:0:35 d.ns.facebook.com. 172800 IN A 185.89.219.12 d.ns.facebook.com. 172800 IN AAAA 2a03:2880:f1fd:c:face:b00c:0:35
3. Let's use one of these NS records
% dig NS facebook.com @129.134.30.12
; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> NS facebook.com @129.134.30.12
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
4. So let's see why we can't reach these servers
% traceroute 129.134.30.12
traceroute to 129.134.30.12 (129.134.30.12), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
1 [redacted] 0.628 ms 0.159 ms 0.101 ms
2 [redacted] 2.333 ms 1.715 ms 1.706 ms
3 96.120.21.201 (96.120.21.201) 9.123 ms 10.691 ms 10.338 ms
4 96.110.66.37 (96.110.66.37) 9.254 ms 8.754 ms 10.311 ms
5 ae-13-ar02.westside.fl.jacksvil.comcast.net (68.86.168.1) 9.332 ms 11.930 ms 9.746 ms
6 be-33622-cs02.56marietta.ga.ibone.comcast.net (96.110.43.117) 23.797 ms
7 be-2112-pe12.56marietta.ga.ibone.comcast.net (96.110.33.178) 24.322 ms
8 * * *
So Comcast doesn't know how to reach Facebook. Well... BGP should tell them
5. Let's check with a BGP Looking Glass
show router bgp routes 129.134.0.0/16 ipv4 hunt
===============================================================================
BGP Router ID:4.69.178.225 AS:3356 Local AS:3356
===============================================================================
Legend -
Status codes : u - used, s - suppressed, h - history, d - decayed, * - valid
l - leaked, x - stale, > - best, b - backup, p - purge
Origin codes : i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete
===============================================================================
BGP IPv4 Routes
===============================================================================
No Matching Entries Found.
===============================================================================
So looks like the route is gone. Oh well. Enjoy while it lasts.

I should have learned to code because what you posted may as well be Mandarin Chinese

Seems weird for Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp to all go down together. FB has different platforms for each with their own servers and data centers.
Very weird.
Very weird.
